Maggie Mitchell to Appear ut the Opera
House this Evening.
Maggie Mitchell appears at the Opera
House this afternoon in her famous play
Maggie the Midget" and tonight in the
Pearl of Savoy" No star ever coming
to Wheeling has held her popularity IA
we'll "a Maggie Mitchell, and that she will
appear before very large audiences on both
occasions is beyond all doubt, and the sale
of reserved seats shows it. The Boston
Journal says:
Maggie Mitchell is still easily queen of
her own department of acting. She is I'M
approached in the reality with which she
presents the elfishness, the gayety and ram
pant animal spirit Of hoidenish girlhood,
and in the winning touches which show
the warm heart lying close beneath the
rough exterior. Her dancing is as light,
her Iidicules as keen and her yigor as un-
tagging as they used to be, and although
the touching voice is worn, it is handled
with great skill. Maggie the Midget, !"
FrHd Williams play, in which she appeared
at the Opera House last evening before a
large audience, affords her abundant OPP
portunity for the exercise of her especial
talents. and also demands, in the later acts,
the expression of devotion, selt-sacrlhce
aud strong womanly passion. The play Is
we'll constructed, with simple ana dlrect
story whose interest increase steadily until
the happy ending, and it is much better
than most American plays"

ALL CORRECT.
THE EXAMINATION OF THE BOOKS OF THE
CITY COLLECTOR CONCLUDED.
The Balance Of About Two Thousand Ssve Hundred
Dollars Will Be Turned Over to The 0ty
Receiver this Morning.

The Council Committee on finance
again met at the City Hall, last eyuing,
and had long session over the book, and
papers of the late City Collector, N. C.
Crawford. City Clerk Bowers and Cnm-
mittee Clerk Elson, who had spent two
days in going over the books, had 6n-
isbed up their labors, and made a report
to the effect that the accounts were correct,
and that they found no fsult with the
statement submitted by Mr.. Crawford.
That statement showed the Collector
to be debited with Sl07, 0l0 81,
and to have credits of $104, giles,
leaving balance due the city of s., 73s =
Is. There has been actually paid into the
city treasury the sum of $97, 1853 10. The
delinquent bills footed up $2,603 SO, and
the commissions s., $40 Is. Of the delin-
quent bills, about 500 were regarded as
good, they being for taxes on real estate,
and constituting the remainders OF bills
upon which partial payments had been
made. These bills will be turned over to
the City Collector after the existing ordi-
nance. has been amended by Council.
The committee voted to allow Mr.. Craw-
ford a commission upon his discounts,
amounting to about 81, $50, an item which
had been overlooked by the gentleman,
but similar motion to permit him TO re-
ceive credit for commissions upon the face
of his collected bills was defeated by tie
vote, three members Of the committee TAX
ing a very decided stand upon a strict
reading of the city ordinance on
the subject. This ordinance says the col
lector shall be allowed a commission upon
the entire sum actually paid by him into
the treasury of the city. In turning over
his money to the City Receiver, Mr.. Craw-
ford had taken out his commission, and
handed over the remainder, and it was
only upon the actual amounts paid in that
the sticklers desired to figure commission,
although il was freely admitted that the
matter was las broad as it was long," and
that the Collector would have been entitled
to the money had he turned over the entire
sum. The motion to allow credit for the
commission on s., 3i5 Is was defeated bya
tie vote, and so the matter stands.
The balance due the city will be paid
over to the City Receiver by Mr. Crawford
or his sureties this morning, and the mat
ter will be finally closed up.
